Canada/Etats-Unis : les enjeux d'une frontière
En mettant l'Amérique du Nord face à cette menace que représente le terrorisme, les attentats du 11 septembre 2001 ont engendré une redéfinition de la politique américaine. Afin d'éviter qu'une autre attaque survienne, l'administration Bush s'est lancée dans une Guerre contre le terrorisme - à l'étranger mais également en Amérique du Nord - dont le volet intérieur s'est manifesté par une sécurisation avancée de son territoire. Dans le cadre de cette entreprise, les frontières américains se retrouvent dans la ligne de mire de Washington et deviennent ainsi un levier central dans cette politique de sécurité intérieure. Cet ouvrage remonte donc dans le temps pour donner à voir comment la frontière américano-canadienne s'est construite et est devenue selon l'expression consacrée " la plus longue frontière non-défendue au monde ", à l'aube du 11 septembre 2001 avant d'analyser ce concept de frontière intelligente et le faisceaux de forces qui ont sous-tendu sa mise en place afin de réfléchir sur ce que cette frontière nous apprend sur la relation soi-disant spéciale que partagent les Etats-Unis et le Canada.

Borderology
This book develops and establishes knowledge about borderology in the border zone between different countries, cultures, and climatic environment. The content of border and border zone has, during our research, changed from being a physical border between states to different borders and border zones which also include social and mental borders. The COVID-19 pandemic has challenged the concept even more. The expressions “lockdown” and "social distance" indicate such borders that we, a short time ago, had largely not considered in our everyday life. Not only states closed their borders, regions inside a country, and even borders within families were established. “Illegally” passing these borders could crate strong reactions both from the nature by a disease or by the authorities with fees. The pandemic has not only challenged our understanding of borders and border zones, but it has also challenged our understanding of human rights and especially our understanding of what freedom is.
Competing Memories of European Border Towns
This book considers competing memory politics in European border towns after the First and Second World Wars. In the twentieth century Europe’s borders shifted dramatically in the wake of war, and towns were often moved from one state to another despite their physical locations remaining unchanged. Urban spaces adapted to incorporate new place names, monuments, and requirements, overlaid onto the cultural heritage of previous settlers. This book investigates how the memories of different ethnic groups compete and sometimes contest with each other in the town’s space, using the case studies of Vyborg/Viipuri in present-day Russia, Klaipėda/Memel in Lithuania, Szczecin/Stettin in Poland, Flensburg in Germany, Trieste in Italy, and Rijeka/Fiume in Croatia. The book considers how public memories are built and how old traditions are moulded to new forms in urban settings. Drawing on perspectives from across borderland, urban, and memory studies, this book will be an important resource for researchers with an interest in Europe, and in how urban memories are constructed and contested.

Canada/États-Unis : les enjeux d’une frontière
Cet ouvrage donne à voir comment la frontière américano-canadienne s’est construite et est devenue, à l’aube du 11 septembre 2001, « la plus longue frontière non-défendue au monde ». Il analyse ensuite le concept de frontière intelligente et le faisceau de forces qui ont sous-tendu sa mise en place afin de réfléchir, enfin, sur ce que cette frontière nous apprend sur la relation soi-disant spéciale que partagent les États-Unis et le Canada.
